Addicted to the App Store? Spending way too much money on apps? AppSniper can help you!
Not only does AppSniper allow you to track which apps are on sale, but it also notifies you when apps you're interested in have met your price target.
Many developers drop their prices for only a few days or, in extreme cases, only a few hours in order to get additional sales and reviews. With AppSniper you can be guaranteed that you will never miss those great opportunities to pick up quality software at bargain prices.
The best part is that AppSniper will pay for itself with the first snipe or sale item that you buy!
We have a lot of fantastic new features planned for AppSniper, and will be actively updating it. If you have any suggestions, don't hesitate to email us at support@manta.ca and if you find this app useful, please support us with a positive review.

What the developers aren't telling you
Previously I was scouring the AppStore for new apps and apps on sale. AppSniper makes this FAR easier and I love it. However I have a problem with the fact that the developers of this great app are using affiliate links to apps when you click on "Buy" in AppSniper. An affiliate link is a link that generates revenue for a publisher, in this case Manta Research. So not only are they charging you 99 cents for AppSniper, but they also make a small percentage commission everytime you buy an app by clicking on "Buy" in AppSniper. I feel the developers of AppSniper need to be up front about their use of monetized links within AppSniper and it was only by careful observation (and the fact that I am an iTunes affiliate and make money the same way off my web pages) that I discovered this. I give AppSniper 4 stars for function and -3 stars for not disclosing they use iTunes affiliate links, so my final rating is 1 star. If the developers post a disclosure statement I will update my review.
Great for keeping your eye on those "must have" apps
Ok, so I'm just gonna come right out and say it: I'm an App wh@r3. I keep trying to find the best prices on apps that have great reviews and functions that I may (or may not) use. This is THE PERFECT app for people like me. It let's me stay on top of the more expensive apps that I just can't bring myself to pay for... yet. When the prices drop to what I AM willing to pay for, I know it right away!
Not only that, it keeps you updated on ALL new apps that get released from day to day, and ALL price changes from day to day. You can even turn off certain categories if you aren't interested in seeing updates for them (navigation, books, lifestyle, etc.).
This is THE best app for staying on top of all those apps that you are keeping your eye on.
For those of you who haven't figured it out, first thing you should do is turn the "3G/Edge" setting (under Config) to "ON". That will let you browse and get updates even when you are out of WiFi range. That should really be enabled by default, IMO.
***My only wish is that they make it easier to sort/browse through the lists. The lists can be quite long and are not currently arranged in any specific way that I can see; not alphabetized or sorted by price. Hopefully this is something that will come in an update soon. But even without that, this is still the most useful app that I have!
Brilliant
At last a useful application. Finally an easy way to see new apps on appstore. Already I can see ones I've missed. Good work.
